Review by Matt

"Learn the guitar here.

If you want to learn everything about the guitar and music in general, Josh is your teacher. He is very patient with you and knows

the pace you need to be on. Josh is unique in that he focuses on the songs that you want to learn. He will quickly learn the songs that you want to learn and will spell it out for you, step by step. In the way he explains the concepts of the guitar, you will be able to figure out many things on your own. He will tell you what you're doing wrong and help you fix it. He's very encouraging and doesn't let you say "I can't". It's more like Hey, hey, what can I do."

"My husband and I just had our first few lessons with Trevor and we couldn’t recommend him more. As a high school band director who is a guitar beginner, I

think that Trevor is a fantastic teacher. He makes music and guitar fun, ensures you feel successful in each lesson, and is teaching quality information in a very logical order and pace."

"Daniel is an excellent teacher. He gave my 13 year old son lessons. He kept him engaged. Was able to keep him focused. With the ability to progress. If no

t for Daniel moving off to college I would still be using him to give lessons to my son."

"Great Tool

I have been working with Josh for about four months now and the experience has been awesome. Heâs a real talent and helps me make the necess

ary connections to understand music and the techniques to enjoy the learning process. Without Josh the frustration of learning a new instrument would have won out months ago and I would have quit. I am truly enjoying learning to play, and while I have a long way to go I am a long way from where I started in a short amount of time!"

"We got right to work on a song I selected. Aimee gave me a range of interlocking to work on which was just enough of a challenge. I've really enjoyed p.o.

king up my guitar and practicing. Can't wait for the next lesson."

Review by Andy

"Wished I found Josh sooner

Josh has all the ingredients of the ideal teacher. He genuinely cares about my progress (or lack thereof). He is very patient.

He tailors each lesson to what I want to learn and play. He is able to answer my questions - his knowledge of music runs deep. He spends significant time outside of my lessons to prepare for each lesson itself. And he gives me homework.I recommend giving Josh a try before you make a decision."
